“Power Vampires” take the shape of all kinds of things; your mobile phone charger, digital camera charger, iPod charger, my mother….these items steal energy from you even when not being used for their intended purpose, like making me a sandwich. To combat this massive amount of wasted energy, designer Paulo Oh has come up with a simple plan; unplug them. Not satisfied with simply unplugging them, he also designed this handy outlet called “Hang On Outlet”. It is a basic power outlet with a little extra lip to hold on to your lose plugs, keeping your power management neat and tidy.
